This was an excellent course on how to be safe while frying a turkey.... even though I am a retired firefighter.... I had never considered some of your safety measures which made total sense and were great ideas ... THANK YOU FOR SHARING .... DOC

Love this Video! I'm frying my turkey for the first time this thanksgiving and this has made me feel more comfortable and confident that I will be able to do it with no issues! Thank You!

I watched this video to Fry my Turkey for Thanksgiving for the first time 5yrs ago!! Very easy to follow step by step!! I still re-watch it every Thanksgiving as a refresher (Safety 1st).... The Turkey comes out nice a golden brown!! The family loves my deep fried turkey every year!!!

This is the first video I've seen that tells you to turn off the burner when you drop your turkey. Thank you so much. Ive been frying turkeys for 7 years and I have always done this and tell everyone I can to do just that. I also remove my pot so just in case oil does boil over it doesn't get on the burner. Can I suggest doing your oil measure as your very first step. Before you brine, do your measure. Then use that water to do your brining. I find it just saves time and water. That way you only need to dry your turkey once. Some people brine in the pot, but I like to brine in a food grade bucket so the salt doesn't damage the pot. Salt is bad on aluminum pots, stainless steel is a different story. I do like how fast aluminum pots cool down compared to stainless steel. Having used both, that's my preference. I prefer Cottonseed oil myself. It has a higher smoke point and is a lighter oil, and flavorless. It also heats up and cools down faster. But it's also becoming increasingly harder to find and more expensive. I buy it when I find it, it's worth it for me and my preferences I think. Very good video. Thank you.

pretty much

Use the level markings on the pot to under inch. Add oil as needed after setting bird in cooking oil. I take the bird out of the fridge and sit on the counter 3 hours before cooking to dry and warm to room temp. Get oil to at least 375 because temp will drop to 275, turn burner way up and gradually turn back until it stays around 325. Next day pour the oil through a strainer back into the container and put it in a deep freezer until next year or whenever and mark how many times oil was used. No more than 5 birds. Never cook turkey and fish using the same oil.

Thank you Mr. Karl Engel six years and thirty days after you made this video...I`m now ready to fry a turkey during Christmas week. Remember people this video is six years old so he probably did the water test of how much oil he will need before he injected the butter but did not correctly edit the video to show that.

@BlazePiffington

Жыл бұрын

Due to the butter streaks in the pot of water, it stands to reason that he injected the butter into the turkey before doing the water test. I suppose the only editing needed would be to edit and have the turkey measure the water before drying off and injecting it

Good form Sir. I'm deep frying my 1st bird this weekend on a friend's getaway upta camp. This is the most descriptive video I've seen to do this safely. Thank you. ✌

I'm thinking that you should check for the proper oil level first. Then dry it off and inject butter. Why dry it off and then immerse in water?

Great Video... Thanks... Several years ago I purchased an electric turkey fryer from Wal-Mart. It was one of the Butter Ball Fryers that they sell. I got it for about $ 60.00. The turkeys I fried were about 12lbs. I used the mix of Canola Oil and Peanut oil from Sam's Club. I have fried two turkeys with the same oil. They say you can use it up to 5 times before disposing it. make sure the oil is cold and put it into the original container. Also before storing the oil be sure to strain the oil. I used a big tea strainer with a funnel. That took all of the little stuff out of the oil. One good thing about the electric fryer is that you just set the cooking temp and forget it. You don't have to worry about propane. The fried turkey looked so good frying I decided to cut up 3 large potatoes and make a batch of french fries ! YUM YUM.. they were crispy and delicious.

I followed the instructions and my turkey was awesome. Thanks for this video!

Just made one yesterday. I think these are good rule of thumb but I've always found water and moisture prevention is key

Why not measure the water level BEFORE you dry and season/inject. You had to go back and dry the bird and reseason after you washed everything (or a majority ) of it away lol

The guide is good though

You and your partner seem very happy together and made a great turkey!

So happy u added the safety precautions

You need to raise the temperature to at least 3:50 if you want to cook your turkey at 3:25, because the oil will get colder and lower the temp once you put the turkey in. Happy frying🍗

This video was super informative, thanks for this. Wish me luck. Happy Thanksgiving!

I think you should keep the bird in its plastic wrap then use the water method to mark the pot for the correct amount of oil. Then remove the plastic and then continue with your recipe.

Once having worked for KFC for over 10 years from Cook to Manager, I have dealt with many in-store fires! the advice in this video is way over the top. All kitchens should have a fire blanket, wet chemical extinguisher or a powder extinguisher (Multi-Purpose), a smoke alarm and know where your gas cut off switch is located, that's all the protection you need to safely fry indoors. Most major fires happen because people panic and make mistakes with water which only fuels a GAS Oil fire. It is perfectly safe to cook from frozen, at KFC the chicken is drenched in water seconds before frying 4-8x chicken heads in a single fryer. However frying frozen meat compared to chilled results in different textures, some meat cuts work better than others but generally as a taste point of view chilled is preferred in both takeaway and high end restaurants. If you get boil overs its because the oil level is too high or your dropping in it to quickly. It is also worth mentioning that when you remove your turkey it will continue to cook for the next 5-20 mins depending on how fast it cools. If you want to cook the Turkey before everything else and want to keep the turkey moist then preheat the oven at 65c then place the turkey at the bottom of the oven and on the top shelve fill a baking tray up with water, this will evaporate and keep your bird moist for many hours but you want to eat it within 2 hours because bacteria still grows at this temperature.

Awesome... nothing left out. Thanks. And happy Thanksgiving.

Good job! I agree with all of this. Thx.

The proper way would be to leave the Turkey in the wrapper, place in pot fill with water and mark.
